The drift of population is now into the
Rocky mountain region, observes the New
York World in recent editorial. This is
an obvious yet very striking fact. Scarce
ly five years ago this entire region was
almost universally regarded as barren
waste, the only capabilities OF which Law
in the line of gold and silver mining or
stock raising. A far-sighted man might
have seen twenty years ago that the tide
of immigration westward would not stop
until it reached the base Of the Rocky
mountains. It remained, however, for
the force of circumstances to bring this
country forward. The east was long ago
filled up. What was recently known as
the west is we'll occupied. Land IN New
England is becoming so sterile, so thor
oughly exhausted that great fields OF it are
abandoned to the weeds and thistles. The
rural population of New England is de-
creasing year by year. It is a singular
fact that the same is true even IN Iowa.
There are dozen of the Oldest and best
counties in Iowa that have actually de-
creased in population during the past five
years. Yet this promises to be the great
est year for foreign immigration that this
country has ever seen. Where are they
going to? Into the far west-the Rocky
mountain region recently supposed to be
a worthless wilderness, now known to be
one of the richest and most promising Sec
tons of the entire country.

place around which the universe largely
reVolves- laughter that was riding in

discovered that the oscillation of the
coach promised danger to the occupants.
Looking out saw that the horse attached
to the hearse was running across the fields
and | said to the driver Hold on Said
he, 'Chauncey you were born in these
parts and you ought to know that in Peek
skill the mourners follow the hearse.'
IGreat laughter Now, while the demo
cratic hearse is cavorting across lots, oc-
casionally on the highway, sometimes in
the ditch and sometimes in the open, for
the purpose of gratifying all the condi-
tons of grief the mOurners must be in
the rear. Laughter. The plain cond-
tons Of republican success are that the
young men who are coming in the next
two years from the farms, from the work

HENRY CABOT LODGE,
The toast "Civll Service Reform" fell to
the Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa-
chusetts. He said that those democrats
who had recently obtained office did not
believe they were indebted to civil service
reform. Civil service reform rightly I'M
derstood, is of incalculable advantage to
the country. The American people are
the most business like and successful peo-
pie in the world, and they are determined
to have civil service reform run on bust
ness principles. They care very little
about the jangle for individual appoint
ment. They believe in the underlying
principle of the reform, and public opin-
ion makes the triumph of that reform
certain The party now in power has, in
deed, been guilty of bad faith. What
ether meaning can we give to the whole
sale removal of the collectors of revenue,
the change of territorial judges, the
change of 10000 postmasters, the work
which is being pushed with all possible
rapidity We are confronted with two
classes of questions, and we must have a
coherent, effective and energetic party for
them. BY parties and through parties all
effective political work in this country
has been accomplished Break up parties
and you will break up politics into fac
tons, with no responsibility anywhere.
Believing as we do that the great prob
lem before the country must be solved by
and through parties, and that they can be
best and easily solved by the republican
party, then our duty is clear. We must
set our hand to the upbuildinc and
strengthening of our party that it may
work IN the future as in the past. Let us
do 1t because we love our party and its
leaders, and because we have faith in its
future and in its past

The exhibit from Brule county was
very extensive and remarkably credit
able. 1t was in charge of Scott Hayes,
of the firm of Andrews & Hayes, of
Chamberlain. 1t showed that Brulc
county will not take a back scat for any
county in Dakota, Minnesota or Iowa, as
soon as she has age to nake a fruit dis
play. The exhibit was wholly of farm
products as ordinarily raised and not es
products for the purpose of exhibit.
They consisted of potatoes of which the
county produced an immense crop, car
rots, beets, parsnips and all of the ordi-
nary garden vegetables showing growth
that on the average was superior or on
par with any on exhibition. Three Chill
ian squashes raised upon one vine,
weighed $50 pounds. Broom corr from
the sod measure Is feet. Pie melons
weighed SO pounds. Alfalfa Of one and
two years growth, cabbage weighed 40
pounds, corn from the little Tom Thumb
pop corn to the mammoth Witt Dent of
which Illinois or Missouri could well be
proud. OF the corn exhibited there were
80 varieties and wonderfully illu,t rated
what Brule county will be able to do in
the way of producing pork and fat cat
tie. We learned from MIR. Hayes that
upwards Of So per cent. of all the land n
Brule county is suitable for cultivation
and susceptible of producing produces
just as good as those on exhibition. This
is the first display that Brule county has
made. Her settlement was begun in
1881. An unique feature of the Brule
county exhibit was a map Of the county
made il the office of the firm and was
advantageously used in showing the To-
cality in which certain products were
raised. The people of Brule county cal
justly feel proud of their exhibit at the.
territorial fair. The entire display goes
to Boston. Brule county stood equal
with Hughes. They being 4th, and each
received a Diploma.
